8th step should read "Leave all other fields at their defaults"
Comment 3 Jiri Prox 2016-02-24 09:13:37 UTC 
What value is in "Project Folder" field after selecting the project location?
Comment 4 mannly01 2016-02-24 19:57:06 UTC 
I have tried many different ways:
1) Leave the defaults:
  1.a) Project Name: JavaApplication1
  1.b) Project Location: /Users/george/NetBeansProjects
  1.c) Project Folder: /Users/george/NetBeansProjects/JavaApplication1
2) Change the Project Name:
  2.a) Project Name: HelloWorld
  2.b) Project Location: /Users/george/NetBeansProjects
  2.c) Project Folder: /Users/george/NetBeansProjects/HellowWorld
3) Change the Project Location:
  3.a) Project Name: JavaApplication1
  3.b) Project Location: /Users/george/Desktop
  3.c) Project Folder: /Users/george/Desktop/JavaApplication1
4) Change the Project Name and Location:
  4.a) Project Name: HelloWorld
  4.b) Project Location: /Users/george/Desktop
  4.c) Project Folder: /Users/george/Desktop/HelloWorld

With all of these options, I am leaving the "Use Dedicated Folder for Storing Libraries" check box off and the "Create Main Class" check box on.

I receive the same error every time I click the "Finish" button: "Project Folder already exists and is not empty."

This is a brand new install of NetBeans 8.1 on a 2 month old install of El Capitan that has been updated with all of the Apple OS X updates to 10.11.3.
Comment 5 Jiri Prox 2016-02-25 11:16:52 UTC 
It look like your installation is broken. according to the log several files are missing. One of them is scheme for project.xml so I guess the IDE does not understand project structure now.

Can you please try reinstall Netbeans?
